"Faded And Complicated ft. Bxtchwxrists (Radio Edit)"
OCTOBER 1, 2021 - Syracuse, New York Emo-rapper Jeremy Romance (FFO: Lil Peep, Post Malone, Lil Uzi Vert) has released a music video for "Faded And Complicated" from his debut EP, EP Volume 1. Accompanying the explicit video drop is the release of a radio edited version of the track to foster fresh playlist and listener consideration.
Shot and Directed by Romance and frequent collaborator Matt Abulencia (aka Bxtchwrxsts), the lo-fi video for "Faded And Complicated" comes just in time for spooky season; as, it chronicles, through vibrant hues and found-footage-style filming, a macabre story of love and grave robbery.
"I’m obsessed with underground, weird movies," explains Romance. "I wanted to give the feeling that [the video is] maybe something you aren't supposed to watch."
Leading up to the video release, Romance dedicated himself to a realistic, horror-inspired campaign, leading some fans to even reach out in concern. Whether this video will allay their worries or exacerbate them has yet to be seen.
Check out the video below... If you dare!
Heart-quivering bass and haunting guitar underlie “Faded And Complicated,” a lyrical entanglement of drugs, mental health and romantic devotion. Bxwrxsts adds a somber, melodic verse that ties this desperate love ode together.
ARTIST QUOTE:
“I wrote this song extremely faded and realized I’m much better this way, or else I get, well, what Avril used to bitch about.”—Jeremy Romance
ABOUT JEREMY ROMANCE
Jeremy Romance is a rising emo-rapper from Syracuse, NY with roots in the emo and hardcore scenes.
Romance fronted horror-punk band One Last Shot from 2008 to 2017. The band laid bare Romance's struggles with mental health and yanked the heartstrings of a dedicated fanbase so hard the band received widespread coverage from major rock outlets and played their local Warped Tour 5 years in a row. Such accolades ultimately afforded them the opportunity to tour with popular artists including the Used and Misfits.
So, it's only second-nature that Romance, who has always had a passion for hip-hop, could seamlessly translate the lyrical sincerity, outcast energy and darkness of his rock endeavors to a new genre. Romance released his debut hip-hop single “Zerø Friends Club," which featured Horse Head, formerly of GothBoiClique in 2018 and has since had considerable success on Soundcloud through a series of eclectic singles.
